Small Eggs

Looking into Small Egg selling can teach you so many useful lessons for gold making on your server:

Whether to choose farming or buying from the auction house and flipping (reselling)

Whether to hoard them and sell them all on christmas day, when many players log on and don’t want to work

Whether to sell them in stack sizes of 1, 2, 5, 20, 100. (Clue, I chose stacks of 5)

Whether you have competitors in this field, and whether they are also hoarding them and learn how early or late during an event they put them on the AH

Should you sell eggs or bake them into cookies for Greatfather Winter?

For me, I know my gold making competitors stock up very early and will put them in the Auction House very early, maybe 2 weeks before Winter Veil even starts, and they will have such a large stock that the price will actually start falling from this time. I also know that the last thing I want to be doing on Christmas Day is standing at the Auction House cancelling, reposting, undercutting, cancelling, reposting, all day long. On the other hand, some NA realms (USA) have much fewer dedicated gold makers and you can still make a fortune all the way through Winter Veil, and especially on 25th December. In order to find out which type of server and what competitors you have, you need to watch the prices of Small Egg on your server, preferably 3-4 times per day, in the next week. Are they going up or down? How many are available?

Even if you do not profit from the Small Egg flipping, you can still learn what type of server and what competitors you have, and use that information for the next event.

Minion of Grumpus

For this you need a level 3 Garrison, and preferably Draenor flying, although it’s not essential. Upgrade a level 1 garrison using garrison resources from the garrison cache besides your town hall.

First you need to get “Merry Supplies” Merry Supplies can be acquired by completing 4 daily quests. You pick these quests up in your Garrison from Pizzle and Almie and they send you to Frostfire Ridge. Do all these quests together at once. One set of daily quests will award 5 Merry Supplies.

5 Merry Supplies can get you a Savage Gift, which has a chance to have Minion of Grumpus inside.

The best time to sell Minion of Grumpus mounts is August 2018 onwards.

Instead of Savage Gifts, you could buy a Crashin’ Trashin Killdozer Controller which sells for a lovely 30-40,000g from June 2018 onwards

Crashin’ Thrashin’ Killdozer Controller

Reckles from WTBGold has this video to explain that Elixir of the Rapid Mind is no longer available from Savage Gifts (2017 onwards)

Will prices of other items be affected by gold makers concentrating on Winter Veil items and ignoring the other big gold making items? Watch the transmog market, the BoE market, and the mounts market, the pets market. With 90% of your competitors in Frostfire Ridge, are any doing the Timeless Isle? Is there less competition for selling PVP or PVE boosts?
